ALIEN ABDUCTION IN 1917 FINLAND

Although the exact date is not known, sometime “between January and Easter, 1917”, Anni Lattu (some sources spell her name as Enni) would disappear for several days. Anni lived in a small house in what is now the North Karelia region of Finland. The newspaper account claims her home was several miles away from the Church in the town of Kurkijoki. Local villagers, although thinking it strange that she had left without telling anyone in the village, assumed she had gone to visit her adult daughter. However, when she returned, she did so with a fantastic and mesmerizing tale of her adventures.

One day while performing her usual duties a “large apparatus, like a big washing basin” descended from the sky near to her home. Incidentally, at the time in Finland, wash basins had the appearance similar to large soup plates. This strange object would land close to her house and after several moments a ladder emerged from the craft to the ground. Several small creatures made their way from the craft (she would later refer to these creatures as “little devils”) and approached her. She knew they wished her to go with them on board their ship. She didn’t wish to go, however. Despite her efforts to resist, the creatures would forcibly take her on board. Once inside the craft, which “shone inside” they “traveled very quickly” and “many wonders” were shown to her. She would also state that the craft was silent and “did not make any noise as in the train”. These details would prove to match the many details given by alien abductees decades later. This perhaps not only lends an authenticity to the encounter but suggests a continued and persistent presence on Earth by entities unknown.
